What these are, are tools that allow the usage of particles from Source 2007. This includes Episode 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2. There are MANY cool effects that can be used through this, and make Role-Playing even more interesting and fun. I've been thinking about this for a while, and thought I should bring it up.

Particles also generate huge lags, and count as an entity themselves, which would make the server less stable.

Dun dun dun.
Silver, we NEED this (Atleast on FORP)

Huge lags? Not if we don't go overboard.
I'm sorry, I dont get this stool too much, can someone explain why the stool is needed in the server and what it will add?

Well, with this you can put down effects what will do this, and that like water things and others(GREAT EXPLAIN LOL), download it and check it. But yeah its laggy. :/
Lag? whats lag?
Bog != lag kids.
It lags for people with horrid computers and if the particles are VERY dense and being spammed.
I can't really find a use for this ... maybe some anomalies? The ones on the server are quite rubbish and have no draw distance (You can see them from anywhere in the map.)
Anomalies are a yes. Gotta have them on them.
When my gaming rig is up and running I'll see if I can make some anomalies, I have a good idea on how to make some ...
Why don't we test it on the server first, or people test it in Singleplayer to see if they can't handle it. We don't know until we have tried it.
If someone says "Hurrr it will be aboosed" then just remove their tool-trust, simple as.
We can atleast test it on the server. Announce in 'The Cordon' that it will be uploaded, people seen abusing it will have their TT remove and will be spanked, etc.
I'll make a short video showcasing some of the effects that can be made soon.
